I when my life used to be on Amino.
I had so much fun coming up with challenges
and events and writing and creating. I used to
spend hours here.
But I grew up. I became an adult, went to
college, got married, started working. Life
moved on and sadly, Amino got left behind.
and truth is I don't know when I will leave it
behind forever...
While I still check my app from time to time,
I no longer feel that joy when coming here.
Because my life isn't here anymore.
It's out there.
But my life did use to be here. In all my
stories, my art, and in all my blogs.
and sometimes my heart still breaks
thinking of the past....
So starting this year, I've decided to take
some of my blogs and bring them to real life.
What does that mean?
Since most of my writing isn't saved
anywhere, if I loose Amino, I also loose
hours of my work.
That being said, I've started to rewrite
everything from Amino in my notebooks.
It's a challenge, really...
I've started by going through all 1000 of my
blogs and saving the ones I wish to rewrite.
So far I have managed to rewrite
And a few others. (which I sometimes modify
a bit if I don't like certain words that past me
has used)
I still have a long way to go, if I am to count,
probably 20 more blogs, but that's because
I also wish to print some images of my
profiles, the mythology one and my
werewolf profile. They are just too pretty to
forget. and ofc, some of my artwork.
As always, I am trying to be as creative as
possible. So here is what I have managed to
do so far.

Do You save your writing anywhere? In a notebook or on your computer?
If not, maybe this is your sign to start..

This is very cool. I've got writings and drawings in their own binders, plus new art books waiting to be filled. I even have several hard drives of new digital art, reference photos, my photography and even my business records.
Lately, I've gotten back into wood craft. I've refurbished my nephew's old high chair into a little bench, now that he has grown up. I'm also in the planning stages of building another nephew a loft bed with a desk.
When I was first introduced to Amino, it was amazing to have an app dedicated to art, then it went offline only to be sold off into what it is now. Since last year, I decided to use it as my digital portfolio but life moved away from the app.
I also met an amazing lady through my photography and life moved away from the app. I still work on my artwork, that will never stop as well as my photography. I'm also a caretaker for my Mom, so that also has some of my time.
I've always been creative since becoming a teen all those years ago, next thing I know, thirty years have ed. It's not just a hobby anymore, it's a career.
Through the ups and downs, I'm still creating. But life, like Ferris Bueller said, "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”
There you have it, life.

Yes. Because you and I will create new things that we'll want to share with others. It's not about letting go but adapting. New things as we've both experienced have happened and will continue to happen, allowing us to grow even as the app becomes what it is.
Speaking for myself, it's like my HS art instructor told me, as we grow older, we move from the students to the teachers. As my nephews and niece grow into themselves, they have that same creativity I grew up with and they are coming into their own. I've always known, they look to me for encouragement. Since the moment each was born, I knew they'd grow into who they are now. It's so much different than when I was their age and they'll continue to go further than my siblings or I.
We may not be on this app as much but it's a part of us. A literal record of what we've accomplished. And as I've always done, I've looked back on all I've created as an artist, a writer and photographer only to use those creations as foundations to create more.
I like how you referenced a candle. As with all creatives, we create anew. And the candle maker doesn't just throw the used wax into the trash bin, it's added to a new candle, lighting up the darkness into new possibilities.
It'll never be the way it was but that's a good thing because without growth it becomes mundane. I refuse to settle. Life happens but that creative spark remains. I know I can't let that candle burn out as I'm sure you feel the same.

Thats a very nice way to put things into perspective. While we shouldn't let the candle burn out, as you've said about the new possibilities, maybe there comes a time for that candle to take a different form. Just as we grow up and change, the candle can change too.
I definitely have a lot to think about.

Over time, as I've looked at my past and the things I've done it'll help me grow by learning from it. We'll always be our worst critic and as I've learnt all those years ago, I've turned those criticisms constructive. The reason being that I've always known what I create every one will not like it, that they'll offer a critique, good or bad.
It's in how I've taken those criticisms into positives. But you also need to that conforming is not the way to go. I have something to say as I'm sure you do as well. Change is good as long as you that out of everyone's like or dislike of our creations, we've got to be happy with what we've done.
There's enough negativity out in the world that we don't need to be a part of it. We are the authors of our future. I write how my story ends and so do you. Peace be with you my friend.
